    PUSH
    Music: Kusch / Lyrics: Deris, Weikath, & Kusch

    They're spending millions for your thrill
    Collective desperate overkill
    Wrapped up in harmless words than grin
    Forbidden games you'll never win
    The more you see, the more you know
    Intended media mind control
    Shut down and see how beautiful life can be
    
    This is the prime if your lifetime
    You see through eyes of someone else
    More than a half of your lifetime
    Is just a tale in a storybook
    
    Push, enforce you independence
    Push your real intention
    Face your unconscious addiction
    Push your private fiction
    Push
    
    It't getting sicker frame by frame
    You're always staring at the same
    What is a lie, what is the truth?
    Incredible disgusting news
    The world is rough, the end is near
    Just calculation with your fear
    Without a shame nor least respect
    The operators stand erect
    
    This is the prime of your lifetime
    You see through eyes of someone else
    More than a half of your lifetime
    Is just a tale in a storybook
    
    Push, enforce you independence
    Push your real intention
    Face your unconscious addiction
    Push your private fiction
    Push
    
    


    FALLING HIGHER
    Music: Weikath / Lyrics: Deris & Weikath

    I thought that I felt alright with my world
    But now what I knew seems taken by someone
    Probing me, waiting if I take the bait
    Surrender, step into the line
    
    We won't give into the false
    We are not as dull as taken
    Someone will hold out if they can
    They must kill us if they want us to fall
    
    When we unite
    We're falling higher
    When words collide
    We'll stand straight in turmoil and fear
    No harm comming near
    
    Hungry forever since we took a glance
    Feared that the world was taken by someone
    We realized by the look in your eyes
    Metal will never die
    
    With magic in your hands 
    We are lost-and-found contenders
    For a kingdom of our stand
    Come together no surrender at all
    
    With magic in your hands 
    We are lost-and-found contenders
    For a kingdom of our stand
    Come together no surrender at all
    
    When we unite
    We're falling higher
    When words collide
    We'll stand straight in turmoil and fear
    No harm coming near
    No harm coming near
    No harm coming near
    We're falling higher
    
    


    I CAN
    Music: Weikath & Deris / Lyrics: Weikath

    May I take you higher
    Feed well your desire
    We won't be forgotten
    Foes left slain and rotten
    
    I will have my way
    As once before
    Others stand in awe
    Can't scorn at all
    
    I can, I can, I can
    Make it all again
    I don't wanna lose
    I don't wanna get drowned
    I can, I can, I can
    Heed the call again
    Fulfill my dreams until I'm cured
    I can
    
    Will I be the flyer
    Keep you more inspired
    Some will leave here shattered
    Wish us tarred and feathered
    
    Show me anyone who doubts our ways
    I will laugh out loud and I will say
    
    I can, I can, I can
    Make it all again
    I don't wanna lose
    I don't wanna go down
    I can, I can, I can
    Make the call again
    Can attain ev'rything to leave you sure
    I can
    
    Leave me waiting years or strike today
    Trample down the walls and pave your way
    
    I can, I can, I can
    Make it all again
    I don't wanna lose
    I don't wanna get drowned
    I can, I can, I can
    Heed the call again
    Fulfill my dreams until I'm cured

    MIDNIGHT SUN
    Music & Lyrics: Weikath

    Tried so hard to understand all of your feelings
    Tried to cope with your insanities
    Come to think about too many ways of healing
    What we lost or maybe never had
    
    One small step into the hidden decoy
    One more world is help and one will destroy
    
    I woke up in the midnight sun
    So aware damage has been done
    Agony or sanctuary
    Owly fate will show the way
    
    From the bright of day into the jaw of darkness
    One is shoved, a victim of a lie
    Friendly face turns into a fiery grimace
    Suddenly feelings learn to die
    
    Used up sympathy no chance to return
    To a world one knew but wounds that will burn
    
    Spent more time in the midnight sun
    Still aware of what else has gone
    Agonized and hypnotized
    When will I be shown the way
    
    Fell asleep and no midnight sun
    Still aware justice has been done
    No more doubts but disbelief
    When the night was day
    Celebration, miracle
    And fate did show the way
